How did they ask you out?

[dice]

Hey so I thought it'd be sweet if everyone shared stories about how current/past dates have won them over, or how you charmed them etc.etc.

My friend remembered that one of her guy friends had mentioned that hotel california was his favorite song, so she sung it at a karaoke bar when they went together with her eyes on him the whole time.

another bud just went on a blind date, they talked about drunken times together and completely bonded over that

my current husband and I were just friends at the time. We used to hang out, as just friends, before we decided to date.

How he won me over - got me into thinking of him as MORE than just a friend was...

he showed me his Baby Book. It's this album that his mom put together of him growing up (up to 12 yrs old, I think) and it had pictures of him, things about his personality, everything. Now, not all women are won over by Baby Books, but I sure was.

And it will be 11 years this May. And it still feels like we are newlyweds.

I didn't go out with this guy, because I just wasn't available for dating at the time, but I was VERY impressed -

I was working waiting tables and bartending for banquets and country clubs. There was a guy I occasionally worked with who had asked me out a couple of times, but I let him know I wasn't available - just too much going on in my life right then. I was working a wedding - and he put on a tux and snuck in to the reception, just to hang out with me! It was a big wedding, so he went unnoticed. I was very flattered - it left a big impression! I mean, I still remember it, and it's been like ten years ago at least.

My cutest experience with being asked out happened with seeker5, on this forum!

Seeker and I met on this forum. We were heavily flirting with each other in one thread here and at some point I said "Hey, how about a blindfolded date?". So technically, I did ask him out, although I was kidding. We joked via PMs about this date and about how we'd wear wigs on the date. But then, he asked me out seriously, and even crossed the ocean to date me! We spent the evening walking around in the city, both wearing a green wig.

I was very impressed by his resolve and found all this very cute.

He invited me out for a holiday drink, a couple of days before Christmas. Never showed. He claims different. Tried to IM me and I ignored him to the fullest. He was sooooo persistent, and I was a woman scorned. I gave him hell. I didn't fall for any of his excuses. Day after day he was persistently im-ing me when I was on line. Then I began to chat with him, and I was sarcastic. I kidded him, questioning him, "what, you're homeless?" "oh, you enjoy being homeless?" (when he really wasn't) He told me he goes on cruises and I made a comment that "Wow, you must have collected alot of cans to save up for that cruise." and all the time....he was sweet as sugar. I gave him hell, I still do, but he knows now that I am kidding with him, and he continues to be sooooooo sweet. Well we continued to chat and finally met. Damn....what a sweet guy.....kissed him for the first time this afternoon.

With my ex, we dated a few times but the timing was wrong, so it evaporated.
7 months later we bump into eachother and spend the evening together.
The next day he called and asked if I want to go away with him for the weekend.
I admit I was shocked, I didnt think I was that into the guy, but his courage really impressed me.
I would have usually said no, we only kissed a few times months earlier, but I heard myself saying yes instead.
I decided I would let him do all the planning even though I knew he was pretty broke.
he brought us to the amazing architectural stucture built during 13 years, which a friend of his built from mud, set in a beautiful landscape.
No electricity but plenty of candles, and just eachother to get to know. It was amazing, after that weekend he got me hooked completely,
It lasted 9 months.
